You mean, the official video? At what point? I don't recall seeing this. But... I haven't watched the whole video in many years.

I recall Freddie declining an interview in the Budapest video, but I do not recall him saying anything this profound. Post a video proof on youtube all elsewhere.

it is strange that they never brought Magic tour to Japan, Queen was very popular there.
if someone gives me his or her e-mail adres so i can simply mail that picture to him or her, then he or she may upload it here in the zone...i am just not that good to do all this stuff...i have it right here....but i can't seem to get it out, only as attachment in an email i can do it...so...please giveyour email and i'll send it, then you do it for me okay?
i read somewhere that he was diagnosed with this disease 7 years before his passing. is this true??
I think Mary Austin said that....
yes John deaconknew it was HIS last show. They said, "fuck This garbage, get me a cup of tea and a stripper."
No updates on this?
Okay, I thought Freddie found out he was HIV positive in 1987?

Not until 88 did he really start to go downhill, and even the band were still unsure what he was dealing with at that point.

I think it was only 89 that he started going downhill. Freddie's appearance was largely unchanged in '88, In fact if anything, he'd put on weight- take off his moustache in the Time video from '86 and you have Fred in'88. To my mind he couldn't have toured that year but could have done a two night show at Knebworth.

Well that doesn't look too concrete for me. Though does anybody recall that bit in the "In my Defence" video towards the end where Fred is sat in the hotel in Budapest, deep in thought? Could something have been on his mind. I think he feared AIDS at this time but there's a big difference betwen that and knowing you are ill.

O.K, first of all, i just want to say that i´m not 100% certain of the facts. Only freddie knew for real! But based on various biographies and a picture and a concert (this is so obvious to me that i´m shocked that nobody noticed before!), this is what i believe to have happened:
Barbara Valentim has said in an interview for one of his Bios that around 1984 in Munich Freddie would sometimes start to cough for long periods. This doesn´t prove nothing, but could have been provoqued by:
1- Freddie was a heavy smoker:
2- could be an early sign of the disease?
In her own words, she said that Freddie was probably infected, and even though he didn´t told anybody, he already had suspicious that something could be going on with his body (and notice that by this time he hadn´t made the tests-at least no one is aware!). To ilustrate this, she told an episode around this period:
She said that one day Freddie was bleeding (a cut in his hand?-i don´t remember)- and was washing the blood in the bathroom. When she arrived to help him, he told her to don´t touch his blood and stay away from him. At the time she didn´t understood his reaction, but now she has a reason to believe that he was protecting her from geting infected by the virus.
The picture i talked before is a cover of a book i have and is taken for "Live Aid". That´s right!!
For me there´s a strong evidence that he was already infected because there is a sign in his right arm near the bracelet. I´m going to post a link to rapidshare and then after you see the picture, go and watch the concert again, and stop the image to have a better look.
The reason i believe this is an AIDS sign is because it´s almost impossible to hurt your arm in that place, if you have a domestic accident (it can happen but it´s against all ods).
Here´s the link:

And now that you think of it, why was Freddie trying to cover it with the bracelet. You only wear that kind of bracelet when you´re wearing leather (even though it fitted Freddie in perfection with that denim).
This is just some food for thought. I believe he was infected around 1984 or earlier, and he probably knew that something was going on, but he probably postponed the tests untill the signs were to heavy to ignore. That´s probably why he only did them in 1986.
That´s why they only did 27 shows to promote "A Kind of Magic".
And Brian has stated in many interviews that Freddie probably knew he had AIDS when he was performing at wembley.
Take care
